D.P. McDonogh, rider of Boyne River (GB) trained by Joseph Patrick O'Brien, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his mount was checked after a furlong and a half and the winner crossed him in the straight.

The Stewards reviewed an incident at approximately the seven furlong marker involving Boyne River (GB), ridden by D.P. McDonogh, placed third and Stardayz, ridden by S. Foley, unplaced, where it appeared that there was contact between the two. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the matter, the Stewards were satisfied that no further action was warranted.

The Stewards reviewed an incident in the closing stages involving Boyne River (GB), ridden by D.P. McDonogh, placed third and Espouse, ridden by T.P. Madden, placed first, where it appeared that Espouse crossed the racing line of Boyne River. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the matter, the Stewards were satisfied that no further action was warranted.

The Stewards interviewed D.P. McDonogh, rider of Snapraeterea, concerning his use of the whip in the closing stages of this race. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned who accepted that he was in breach of the regulation and apologised. Having viewed a recording of the race and considered the evidence the Stewards were satisfied that D. P. McDonogh was in breach of Regulation 10.3.g, excessive frequency. Having considered D. P. McDonogh's record in this regard the Stewards suspended D. P. McDonogh for two racedays.

The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer examined Indigo Balance, trained by Mrs John Harrington, at the request of the Stewards and reported the animal to be post race normal.

The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer examined Contarelli Chapel, trained by A.P.O'Brien, at the request of the Stewards and reported the animal to be post race normal. A. P. O'Brien reported to the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer that this filly had recently shown signs of being in season for the first time.

The Stewards enquired into possible interference in the closing stages involving Laws Of Indices, ridden by W.J. Lee, placed fourth, A Case Of You, ridden by R.P. Whelan, placed first, Power Under Me, ridden by C.T. Keane, placed third and Mooneista, ridden by W.M. Lordan, placed second, where it appeared that interference may have occurred. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. W. J. Lee stated that he felt some pressure from his right but it caused him no interference. R. P. Whelan stated that his mount ran around a little but he felt he had not caused any interference. C. T. Keane stated that he got a bump close to the line and he felt it had cost him a place. W. M. Lordan stated that his mount had run around and he had done his best to keep it straight. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards were of the opinion that Mooneista had caused interference to Power Under Me and as a result of this interference had improved its finishing position. As a consequence, the Stewards reversed the placings of the second and third horses and amended the result to read as follows;
First: A Case Of You
Second: Power Under Me
Third: Mooneista
Fourth: Laws Of Indices
Fifth: Magnanimous
Sixth: Lippizzaner

Furthermore, the Stewards also advised W. M. Lordan to ride with more awareness in the future. Mr. Robert hall absented himself from this enquiry.

R.P. Whelan, rider of A Case Of You trained by Adrian McGuinness, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his mount ran around slightly under pressure.

C.T. Keane, rider of Power Under Me trained by G.M.Lyons, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his mount was hampered late on.

James J. Doyle, rider of San Aer trained by Thomas Mullins, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his mount jumped right leaving the stalls.
